Seeing that Dong Feng was still stubborn, and more importantly, that he had actually given up on Dong Yuxin, Wu Xie was already suspicious that Dong Yuxin wasn't Dong Feng's biological daughter, if he hadn't already confirmed their blood relationship.

"He's certainly very loyal to the family!"

In the end, Wu Xie could only sigh like this.

He took out a newly drawn talisman from his pocket, blew on it gently, and the talisman floated lightly onto Dong Feng's arm.

Dong Feng felt a sudden chill run through his body, and his arms began to tremble uncontrollably. He felt something was wrong with his body, but he couldn't pinpoint the problem.

Why was the water-suppressing mythical beast beneath Chengdu's Tianfu Square unearthed?

Wu Xie walked to the bedside, his gaze fixed on Dong Feng, his deep eyes seeming to draw people in.

Under such gazes, Dong Feng involuntarily gasped.

"The four major families had an agreement that the Xu family would guard the water-suppressing beast beneath Tianfu Square. So, using the blood of the Xu family's descendants, they located the exact position of the water-suppressing beast and excavated it!"

Wu Xie's truth-telling talisman might not be perfect, but it was enough for Dong Feng. Sure enough, not long after Wu Xie asked the question, Dong Feng, knowing he couldn't answer, couldn't control his mouth and blurted out each word.

Upon hearing his own words, Dong Feng's face turned deathly pale.

He quickly covered his mouth, watching Wu Xie warily. Even if he was slow to react, he knew that Wu Xie must have done something to make him blurt out the truth.

"So that's how it is! What did the four great families do to the Xu family?"

Wu Xie nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face, and continued to ask questions.

"Xu Yuyi's parents' flesh and blood were sacrificed to the water-suppressing beast, and their bones sank into the river, never to be reincarnated!"

"Besides the Xu family and the Dong family, which are the other three of the five guardian families?"

"The Luo family, the An family, the Wei family!"

"What problems have the four major families encountered that necessitate the removal of the water-suppressing beast beneath Tianfu Square?"

"I have no idea!"

How was the water-suppressing mythical beast moved away?

"Dong Yuxin made his move, using a deceptive technique in the museum. The new stone beast is exactly the same as the water-suppressing beast, making it difficult for ordinary people to notice!"

"Where is this water-suppressing divine beast now?"

"Each of the four families possesses a portion of the water-suppressing divine beast!"

The talisman's effect only lasted for half an hour, and Wu Xie kept asking questions he wanted to know the answers to almost without pausing.

As the mantra took effect, Dong Feng answered questions faster and faster.

Dong Feng had a fairly clear understanding of the basic questions regarding the water-suppressing mythical beast and the Xu family. However, once Wu Xie asked about the motives of the four major families, Dong Feng knew nothing at all.

Half an hour passed quickly. Due to extreme mental exhaustion, Dong Feng fell into a deep sleep the moment the power of the mantra was depleted.

Wu Xie walked out of the ward and immediately went into the ward next door.

Xu Yuyi, Qingfeng Daoist, Chen Tian, ​​and Feng Baobao are all here.

To ensure the mantra talisman worked to its fullest potential, only Wu Xie entered Dong Feng's room, while Qingfeng Daoist and the others watched everything clearly from the adjacent ward via surveillance.

Xu Yuyi sat on the ground, his face filled with despair and hopelessness, staring blankly at the surveillance camera.

When Dong Feng revealed the ultimate fate of Xu Yuyi's parents, even though Xu Yuyi had a premonition, he could comfort himself that the premonition was false as long as he didn't see his parents' remains with his own eyes.

At this moment, he could no longer deceive himself.

Master Qingfeng and Chen Tian stood beside him, both wanting to comfort Xu Yuyi, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

They are not Xu Yuyi after all, and cannot truly empathize with him.

Wu Xie walked in and, seeing Xu Yuyi's appearance, didn't know what to say.

"Now only you are left in the Xu family. The water-suppressing divine beast that the Xu family guards is now broken into pieces and in the hands of four other families. Although Dong Feng doesn't know what happened to their families that made them need the Xu family's water-suppressing divine beast, he is certain that something must have gone wrong with their family's water-suppressing divine beast."

You must remember this in order to uncover the truth and avenge your parents.

Now that Dong Feng and Dong Yuxin are in trouble, the Dong family must already know. Commander Gao said that the political commissar of our Rongcheng security zone has personally led a team to Guanxian, where the Dong family is located, to ensure that the Dong family members are under our surveillance.

Now that we've already alerted them, Xu Yuyi, would you be willing to come with us to the Dong family's residence?

Wu Xie reached out his hand to Xu Yuyi, his eyes full of gentle kindness, a firm gaze that hoped Xu Yuyi could cheer up and continue moving forward.

The ward was completely silent, the silence spreading like a tide.

Xu Yuyi's expression was solemn, and he remained silent, clearly deep in thought.

Wu Xie didn't urge him, but gave Chen Tian and the others a wink, and the group quietly left the ward, leaving Xu Yuyi alone with all the time and space.

"Commander Gao, get ready. Take Dong Yuxin and Dong Feng with you. We're heading to Guanxian!"

Although Xu Yuyi has not yet made a clear statement, Wu Xie knows in his heart what decision he will make.

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!"

After Gao Yuanda brought Dong Feng to the ward, he stayed outside and even sealed off the entire floor to prevent any accidents from happening.

Hearing Wu Xie's order, he was not surprised, after all, the political commissar had already led people to Guanxian.

Since Dong Yuxin and Dong Feng were still unconscious, Gao Yuanda specially arranged for an ambulance to carry them into the vehicle to ensure that no accidents would occur during the journey.

Feng Baobao stood aside, watching Gao Yuanda's men take Dong Feng and Dong Yuxin away. She couldn't help but sigh, "The security zone is much more efficient; we don't have to worry about them at all."

"Won't our operation be too big of a fuss?"

After thinking for a long time, Feng Baobao lowered her voice and asked Master Qingfeng.

"This disaster affected the entire Xichuan region. They dared to attack the water-suppressing divine beast and even killed Xu Yuyi's parents. You know how tragic the fate of the Xu couple was. This wasn't the work of just one family, but rather a joint effort by four families."

For the sake of their family's interests, they disregard the lives of all living beings. What good do you think such a family has to offer?
You can clearly understand the implication in Dong Feng's words: they may not know the family's secrets, but they have tacitly approved of this practice, putting the family's interests above all else. Does such a family really have any reason to exist?

There are five water-suppressing divine beasts in Jiangyan. Now, the one guarded by the Xu family has run into trouble and appears to have been dismembered. No one knows what the other four families have done, nor how long their water-suppressing divine beasts can hold out.

We could have avoided such a large-scale investigation, but would the Dong family really cooperate willingly?

Only by deploying troops directly from the restricted area can we provide them with sufficient deterrence and save more time.

So far, the other three families haven't shown any signs. Do you really think we have that much time to wait?

Faced with Feng Baobao's question, Chen Tian slowly began to speak, becoming increasingly excited as he went on. Since arriving in Jiangyan City, Chen Tian had been tirelessly working on the front lines.

He witnessed firsthand the suffering of the disaster victims, and for a moment, he even felt utterly powerless.

He can save one person, but not everyone.

All of this was done by the Dong family in alliance with three other families for their own benefit.

The thought made Chen Tian's teeth itch with hatred. This operation didn't require the deployment of the restricted area, but they escalated the situation, dragging the entire Rongcheng restricted area into it. What was their purpose?
Isn't it all about taking them down as quickly as possible?
Chen Tian's voice gradually lowered. He wasn't angry at Feng Baobao; it was just that the negative emotions pent up in his heart were making him somewhat out of control.

I know I shouldn't do this, but I just have this inexplicable anger that I want to vent.

Feng Baobao took a step back, made a hand seal, and a beam of green light struck Chen Tian's shoulder.

Chen Tian's body jolted violently, and the red light in his eyes gradually faded.

Master Qingfeng struck Chen Tian on the back with a palm from behind. Chen Tian exhaled a breath of turbid air, his whole body trembled, and a trace of lingering fear appeared on his face.

"I feel like something has affected my emotions, and I even have an urge to go crazy and destroy everything!"

Chen Tian shivered, goosebumps rising all over his arms. In all his years of cultivation, he had never encountered anything like this. Even when facing the Bewitching Demon, his Dao heart remained steadfast and unwavering.

"The Dong family must have some tricks up their sleeves, otherwise how could they have quietly developed for so many years? To survive in chaotic times and even rise to a higher level, you can't do that without some ability!"
Otherwise, how could the Xu family have fallen to such a state?

The Xu couple sacrificed their flesh and blood to the water-suppressing beast, their bones were sealed in the water forever, and it is feared that their souls were shattered.

Wasn't Xu Yuyi's previous suicidal thoughts precisely caused by Dong Feng's methods?

It's understandable that Chen Tian accidentally fell victim to it.

Master Qingfeng's tone was authoritative yet clear-headed, as if he had poured a bucket of cold water on Chen Tian, ​​instantly calming him down.

"It shouldn't just be the Dong family's doing. Xu Yuyi was infected because he's just an ordinary person. We're in the same ward. If it really was Dong Feng's doing, I wouldn't be the only one who got infected."

I suspect that my infection is related to what happened in Jiangyan City, and also to the person I failed to catch up with.

"The only thing we don't know yet is which family they belong to."

After much deliberation, Chen Tian could only come up with this possibility.

When the person fled, they scattered some powdery substance. At the time, Chen Tian was in a hurry to catch the person and didn't think much about it.

At the time, he did feel a little dizzy, but he didn't have time to think about it.

"Everything will be clear once we get to Guanxian. Just be careful these days, and don't let your emotions get too high or low, or it will cause a lot of trouble!"

Wu Xie calmly reminded Chen Tian that this matter could not be taken lightly.

"Chen Tian, ​​don't put too much pressure on yourself. What you said before wasn't really a problem, it's just that your emotions were fluctuating too much."

I know that witnessing a disaster firsthand must have been a huge psychological blow to you, but you must believe that everything will be alright.

Just like you said, the Dong family is already under surveillance in the restricted area; no dirt can hide, and the truth will soon come out!

Seeing that Chen Tian was in low spirits, Feng Baobao went over, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Actually, Chen Tian just wanted to explain to Feng Baobao why this operation required the mobilization of personnel from the restricted area, making such a large-scale effort.

After all, when they carried out their missions in the past, they always tried their best not to attract the attention of ordinary people, striving to resolve the matter before it spread.

The deployment of personnel to the restricted area put the Dong family under their close surveillance. Ordinary people would probably feel panicked seeing such a scene.
-

Guanxian County is not very large.

Zhao Haijiang personally led the team and rushed to Guanxian County almost overnight.

Before dawn, all the Dong family members who were related to Dong Feng and Dong Yuxin had been surrounded.

The military vehicles roared along, attracting the attention of many even in the darkness of night.

Photos of the incident have been taken online.

Look, here it is, in its iconic military green uniform.

[What is the purpose of this military green figure marching forward in the dead of night?]

[Guanxian isn't a big place, and it doesn't seem to have been affected by the disaster this time. Why would the warning zone send soldiers here?]

[Hey, the person upstairs is right. Guanxian didn't just escape the disaster; the rain here was just a light drizzle, not a downpour at all. I think some deity must have been protecting us to save us from this calamity.]

[Given its location, Guanxian should logically have been the first to suffer disaster. It's as if an invisible barrier has kept the storms and rain out, leaving only a light drizzle. How strange!]

That's why they say it's divine protection.

[The temple of Erlang Shen is right here, isn't it normal for him to receive protection?]

"In Sichuan, is Guanxian the only place that receives protection?"

Stop spouting all that superstition; it's simply because the water-suppressing mythical beast is here.

[What water-suppressing mythical beast? Didn't people keep talking about the water-suppressing mythical beast at Chengdu Tianfu Square? That stone beast is still sitting safely in the museum, isn't it? The torrential rain in Xichuan District has stopped, so what does that have to do with the water-suppressing mythical beast? Where in Guanxian are there any water-suppressing mythical beasts? It's clearly divine protection…]

[This is hilarious! Divine protection? You're dreaming! If there really were divine protection, the Xichuan region wouldn't be experiencing torrential rain!]

……

Lianyungang City, Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation.

Huang Miao and Zhang Qilin were sitting in their office, leisurely drinking tea.

Huang Miao, who had just taken a short break, came across a trending topic online.

Huang Miao wasn't interested in any of the myths and legends about Jiangyan; he only noticed the account that mentioned the water-suppressing mythical beast.

In the numerous online discussions, almost no one mentioned the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast, and the hype surrounding it had already faded.

Now that someone has suddenly mentioned the water-suppressing mythical beast, Huang Miao has no choice but to pay attention.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

"Please help me find all the information about an online account!"

After the call was connected, Huang Miao spoke without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Miao opened the account himself. The account was completely empty; the profile picture was blank, and there were no clues whatsoever. (End of Chapter)
